Bioinformatics Sorting Big FASTA/FASTQ Files by Sequence Length with Biopython

In Day 11 of 12 days of Biopython, I am going to show you how to sort sequences coming from big sequence files. By big, I mean that they can't be loaded into the memory of our machine/can't fit. We are going to reuse the idea from the Day 10 video of 12 days of Biopython: index() functionality from SeqIO modulo.

My videos are aimed at everyone interested in Computer Science applications in biology. The mission is to simplify Bioinformatics concepts, one video at a time! Follow me on Twitter.
